If Starbucks baristas have to strike, we’re striking too — with our wallets.

Don’t shop at Starbucks if baristas are on strike. No contract, no coffee. Period. #NoContractNoCoffee

Colorado had some wins tonight, including in my dumb county (Lauren Bobert’s district) we had a vote for the school district board of education. 4 spots up for grabs. 8 people running— 4 progressives and 4 MAGA ban books, anti-trans, dog whistlers.

All 4 progressives took the win.

These Nazis believe they’re untouchable and want us to know it.

They’re not.

Get organized in your community—prepare for nonviolent noncooperation. There’s more of us than them and we will get through this.

This shakeup has two goals:
1. Increase the number of detentions to approach Stephen Miller's goal of 3000/day.
2. Increase violence to the point of provoking violent responses which will then be used as justifications for the invocation of the Insurrection Act
"NBC reported that the move was led by Corey Lewandowski, the mastermind behind much of DHS’s enforcement operations, and Greg Bovino, a Border Patrol executive who has been the literal face of much of the agency’s most aggressive (and illegal!) tactics." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/think-ice-...

Cognitive psychologist, here.

Trump is not describing IQ tests. He is describing taking measures of cognitive decline from dementia.

Those aren’t hard. All the questions should be easy. I hope he passes, but worry he isn’t.

I’ve written about these issues (links in 🧵). 1/
Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

Starbucks' unionized workers are holding a massive strike vote.

If approved, more than 12,000 baristas in 45 states and the District of Columbia could strike.

@sbworkersunited.org says the strike would be open-ended, potentially continuing through the holidays.
